I visited here on a recent Friday with a group of almost a dozen and had a great time. We had a…read morelarge table (not sure is someone reserved it or not) looking right out onto Roger Williams ave. We had plenty of room and it was nice to have delicious beer, good food, and a pleasant view of this part of Highland Park. I've been here before when it had a different name, but it seems like little has changed. This is a well warn bar! Comfy seats at the bar and a smattering of booths and table with a homey feel - lots of wood and available light from the large front window. This is not a huge room by any means but it never felt crowded. Our group had mostly apps like guac and chips and a quesadilla or two. I tried a Kolsch lager and a Marzen lager both if which were a little cheaper than usual due to the Happy Hour Special of $5 a beer. Margaritas are $6 at Happy Hour. The beer was very good! We had a great waiter and being seated just a few feet from the bar meant no one went thirsty or hungry for long. On past visits I was seated on the back patio but we had rain on this most recent visit, and it's also March! (Patio season does not start in the Chicago area for at least another month or month and a half!) The patio is a nice little wood fenced in area with lots of tables and a back tap bar. Not sure if that set-up is still the same.... This is a great local bar with a lot of rustic, homey charm. I'd definitely recommend if you want good local beer in a friendly old-school bar.

My husband and I went to Steep Ravine Brewing with some friends for lunch on a Saturday. The…read morerestaurant was about half full with outdoor seating available. We ordered the nachos for an appetizer. They were good without being too spicy. Then I ordered the pulled pork with sweet potato fries as an entrée. I loved the barbecue flavor and onion ring. My husband had the quesabirria tacos which were amazing. I wish I had room to try the churros for dessert. Everything was very good and I'll be back to try more.

I don't get why people treat this restaurant like it's some pinnacle of restaurant-ship (not a word…read morebut go with it pls). It's always seemed to me like average food for high prices that they know people here will pay. We went here with out-of-towners, including kids, and it was impossible to get our order taken for a while, maybe 20 minutes. Most restaurants prioritize getting kids fed earlier than adults, since they go to bed earlier. There was no sense of urgency here. Our waiter forgot our drinks and was nice but barely came over to see if we needed anything. Also, it is VERY LOUD. Prepare to ask "what??" over and over, or whatever your version of that is (pardon, say that again, etc.!). People at our table wanted chips with guacamole and salsa. The guacamole fit into a small salad dressing container (the tiny cups). This was barely a sharing amount, but we all got our thimble-ful. The server or kitchen messed up someone else's burger order, so she had to wait a while while everyone else ate. My salad was absolutely fine. It wasn't worth $20. Nothing in it was very interesting. The lettuce was fresh but poorly drained, so I got to have a watery mix of things with dressing. The dressing came in a small takeout container. This isn't fast food, and my badly drained, boring salad was $20. Give me a real dish :P

Cute little neighborhood cafe and bar walkable from Main Street in Highland Park…read moreIt gets very busy for lunch, but is totally worth waiting for. They always have chili and baked onion soup in addition to a featured soup of the day. We enjoyed a meaty and tender corned beef sandwich and a bowl of chili with sides of cheese and onions. All the food was delicious. The wait staff was awesome and quick to fill up water and iced tea glasses. The owner even checked in with us and thanked us for coming in.

Here are some highlights: great service (very attentive), family friendly, excellent food (nachos, calamari, wings, burrata salad, steak tacos, the veg flatbread, steak frites - phenomenal, and the chocolate cake), nice sports environment but not too loud. Areas of improvement: while I like their burgers and handhelds, my only knock against is the bread sometimes is a little stale, which is disappointing. An excellent addition to community!

We were staying nearby for a long weekend getaway in Chicago. After a long travel day, we were…read moreseeking some nourishment, so we hit up Broken Tee. There was street parking available out front for us, but I could imagine parking would be tougher during the warmer months! This spot was fairly simple inside, with a variety of tables, exposed brewing machinery, and loosely golf-themed decor. The service was friendly and efficient, even though the space was pretty busy with a trivia night happening. We ordered two beers: their Schwarz beer and a Hazy IPA! Both tasted great. We also ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and the Cheesesteak, which both came with a lovely serving of fries. The sandwiches were very tasty and the accompanying sipping sauces (Hot Honey and Chipotle Aioli) were awesome! Overall, a wonderful, no-frills spot for a bite and a sip! Nothing to blow your socks off, but also not much to critique! We would definitely return!

Great place to take visitors to sit and have a beer…read more The staff is very friendly and honestly want you to have a good experience trying new beers. The place is filled with small cozy places with board games and cards to fill any space in the conversation. The seats are comfy, and there is beer of all types to satisfy your wants. They are a bit expensive ($7-9/pint) but they are local and it's a small space mostly for tasting the beer and not aiming to drink yourself into oblivion. TL;DR: Good beer in a good environment

The guy left with my card and the person working - who said he's actually the owner - didn't seem too fazed by it and really struggled to figure out what to do, even bringing other customers into it who were a bit over the top. Something like this can't happen every time, but for us when it happened it wasn't even that crowded. It was so weird, as was the reaction. Try the place at your own expense.
